What the World Sees as Apostolic
I was speaking to a religious person today and the topic came up about what the difference is between apostolic and pentecostal. I asked her what she though apostolic meant and she ran down this list....
1. Dresses
2. Uncut Hair
3. No make-up
4. No television
She equates apostolics with legalism. She doesn't equate an apostolic as being a spirit filled believer who operates in the power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost.
She reinforces what a vast majority of people think about apostolics. There are some who are intellectually dishonest and would want to question the intelligence of this person, but she is a college graduate, has owned a business, and is a very active member of her church.
Can anyone explain again what legalism has to do with the '' apostle's doctrine''? The world isn't buying it one bit.

She represents the whole world?
Apostolic has three main meaings. One is Apostolic succession via the RCC
another is a group that believes in the gifts and offices of Apostles are still for us today
And the last, which is Oneness Pentecostals, are those that believe in strictly adhering to the teachings and practices of the Apostles when it comes to doctrines of salvation and the godhead. Others within that group might add standards of dress to it.
There may be other definitions that I am not aware of

She was able to recognize separation from the world.
Praise the Lord someone has let their light shine!
